Welcome to Paragon Education!
At Paragon Education, we recognize that nurses are adult learners who:
- Are autonomous and self-directed, so we actively involve our participants in the learning process.
- Have a foundation of life experiences and knowledge, so we affirm the value of your experience & help connect course content to your knowledge & experience base.
- Are goal-oriented, so we ensure that our programs are current, well organized & have clearly defined goals to meet your educational needs.
In my own nursing education, I have always noted the difference between those teachers who taught from their hearts and experience, and those who taught from lifeless theory. Most often, I was the bored one in the back row, saying, “I could do better than this.”
I have recognized that great nursing teachers know how to make complex and difficult subjects simple, understand what content is clinically relevant, and know how to apply new concepts into practice. Great teachers can “talk the talk” because they can “walk the walk.” I also found that the best courses were the ones where we shared our experiences and made us laugh, a lot.
So, to paraphrase Mahatma Gandhi, I decided to be the change I wished to see in the world. I founded Paragon Education to provide lifelong learning that is concise, practical, and fun. In our courses, you will find current, clinically-relevant information that is presented with individual flair. And you’ll laugh, a lot.
